Episode 127: America's Most Haunted Sanitorium - Waverly Hills


Listen Later

We're kicking off Paranormal April with an episode dedicated to one of the most haunted buildings in North America: The Waverly Hills Sanatorium.

Nestled atop a secluded hill in Kentucky, this monumental structure once served as a beacon of hope for tuberculosis patients during the early 20th century. Through a blend of historical insights and captivating narratives, we'll explore the sanatorium's inception, its innovative yet haunting treatments, and the societal impact it had during its peak. Uncover the tales of perseverance and tragedy that echo through its abandoned halls, painting a picture of an era grappling with a health crisis.

But the story doesn't end with the closing of its medical wards. As night falls, the shadows of Waverly Hills whisper of unresolved spirits and unexplained phenomena, making it a hotspot for paranormal investigators and thrill-seekers. Stephanie and Andrew will delve into the chilling accounts of hauntings that have propelled this former sanatorium into the limelight of the supernatural. From the legendary tunnel known as the "death chute" to the ghostly appearances in the children's ward, we'll sift through the myths and eyewitness reports that have solidified Waverly Hills' reputation as one of the most haunted places in America. Tune in, if you dare, to a journey through history and beyond, where the past is anything but forgotten.
